Paul Murray and Karen Glossop have hit on a remarkable idea to present
a slight but charming tale in a fresh perspective.

The tale itself concerns Pete and Stella, a couple of British holidaymakers
who fall out and then separately undergo strange, sometimes touching experiences
on an unspecified but probably Mediterranean island. But it's the presentation
that's the key.

A couple of opaque white screens stretch across the stage. They are
mounted on vertical rollers. In each scene, the audience are given a window
to only part of the action: torso level when Pete hitches a lift, floor
level when car mechanic Georgiou is accosted by the local vamp Maria, and
so on. Scenes are interspersed with projected captions from a range of
sources, from a car manual to a self-help book and a pregnancy testing
kit.

On its own, the story is a charming but disposable mixture of poignancy
and bizarrerie. Presented in this way, so that we literally see only part
of the story at any one time, it becomes captivating.
